A former doctor will be sentenced in December for sexual battery after
placing his tongue in the mouth of an elderly patient during an
examination.
Kenneth Seen,
52, of Spencer, West Virginia, was convicted of the crime in Roane
County Circuit Court this week. According to State Police, the patient
bit off a “significant portion” of the doctor’s tongue at the time.
Seen had originally claimed the patient,
a 77-year old man with dementia and Parkinson’s disease,
grabbed his tongue and forced the incident at Roane General Hospital.
Troopers though said the patient, who died in October 2012, was
immobilized and unable to grab anything.
Roane County Circuit Judge Tom Evans will sentence Seen on Dec. 16. Seen
was no longer an employee of Roane General Hospital as of August 2012
when the incident was first reported.
